Assassin's Creed™ - Altaïr's Chronicles Review

Review Gameloft By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 9 months ago
Assassin's Creed™ - Altaïr's Chronicles Review

Assassin's Creed was a huge title in 2007 on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Now Gameloft have created a port of the game for the iPhone. The premise is similar. As the assassin Altair, you are eluding guards on the rooftops of the middle east, assassinating targets on your way to acquire an item of great import. How does it compare to its console counterparts? The controls are well mapped but end up being a problem. To move Altair, there is an analog stick on the touch screen. There are a…

Review SEGA By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 9 months ago
Sonic the Hedgehog Review

Just about every mobile device has had an incarnation of this popular classic console game and there's no reason that SEGA shouldn't have brought it to the iPhone too. Iconic in its design and gameplay, the iPhone version of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 plays just as flawlessly as the Mega Drive version it's taken from. A digital d-pad is used to run, spin and jump Sonic around each of the levels and the response has to be played to be believed. A major flaw for almost every mobile port has b…
